What does a PCI in Narangba actually inspect?

A PCI in Narangba is the final pre-handover walkthrough. The inspector checks structural items, wet area waterproofing, plumbing and electrical, internal finishes (paint, plaster, tiling), joinery and external works against AS&T. The output is a documented list of items for the builder to address before you accept the keys.

How much time should I allow for a Narangba building inspection?

Allow 2–3 hours on site for a PCI in Narangba — larger or two-storey homes can take longer. Stage inspections take 45–90 minutes. The detailed PDF report is issued on-site the same day in most cases (some exclusions apply for complex builds requiring extended desktop review), ready to send to your builder or supervisor.

Do I have to get an inspection on my new Narangba build?

An independent inspection isn't a legal requirement in Narangba, but it's standard practice. Independent verification against AS&T protects you at the most important transition point — handover — and gives you a documented basis for any rectification items.
